00:00So this is Ian Carlisle from the Orange Order. Ian you were saying that the Orange

00:07Invitation Day is very much about reinforcing the order's place in the

00:11community? Yeah, our Invitation Day is Saturday the 19th of April and it's about

00:15reinforcing the fact that as a membership organisation we are actively

00:20seeking new members and it's a call to our members to ask people to join, it's a

00:24call to the general public to find out more about the institution and there's

00:28been a huge amount of work in recent years by trying to re-establish the

00:31institution's place as an integral part of local communities and that works on

00:35going and we want to build on the positive and good news growth stories that we have

00:39in lots of parts of the country especially within the junior movement for example

00:43and tomorrow's a real opportunity to focus people's minds on thinking about new

00:48members of the institution and to help grow our community right across the province.
